Hey everyone i am a 20 y/o male with thinning hair mainly on the temple area. I am not sure as to whether its male pattern baldness and i would like your opinion on the matter. Also if its male pattern baldness then what are some solutions to stop it and maybe regrow some hair. If its not male pattern baldness then what is it? male pattern baldness actually runs in my family but all of the family members that have it started seeing shedding and thinning in their mid to end 30s. Even so can i still experience male pattern baldness at my early 20s? Actually i have done my research and found out that some solutions include minoxidil along with nizoral and a finasteride pill. But i dont really want to risk the side effects i may actually have. I read somewhere that olive oil treatments do work and i have been applying the method of rubbing olive oil on my scalp, brushing it, and leaving it to rest on the scalp for an hour then showering normally with a non toxic shampoo. I have been using this method for only 2 weeks so i cant actually say if it is working but i realized that when i brush the olive oil on my head a lot of hair breakage and shedding is occuring that can be reflected on the brush (30-35 hairs on the brush when im done). Anyways i would love your opinions and your support. Here are some pics.
